Any way you slice it, Nicole Richie knows how to do hippie well. She's got everything from the daytime-braided-hair look to this nighttime Women in Film Crystal + Lucy Awards gala floral dress and accessory ensemble down pat.
I especially loved her makeup. Her eyes were soft, yet still dressy and smoky and her lips were polished, yet neutral so that the focus remained on her eyes. For those of you who are as captivated by her look as I am and are looking for product and application suggestions so that you can re-create her makeup at home, read more.
- FACE: Spread a medium-coverage foundation all over your face and neck and blend with a makeup sponge. Using the same sponge, blend concealer under your eyes and to any blemishes or red areas that are still visible. Then, dust a matching colored loose powder all over to take out the shine and set the foundation.
- CHEEKS: Apply a shimmer-free bronzer to your temples, forehead, cheeks, and chin and blend it well with a clean, fluffy bronzer brush. Then, sweep a rose-colored powder blush such as Laura Mercier Cheek Color in Azalea to the apples of your cheeks and blend outwards towards the tops of your ears. Touch the brush to your nose, chin, and forehead to create a natural-flush effect.
- EYES: I suggest using a powder eye shadow palette like this one from Vincent Longo in Trastevere. Use the medium shade all over you lid and gently sweep the lightest, yellowy-shimmer color under your brow bone. Then, apply the darkest color in the crease, but only use a touch for definition. Next, line the top of your lashes with black liner and extend the line just slightly beyond the corners. Apply two coats of black mascara and finish by dabbing some champagne eye shadow just above your eyeliner.
- LIPS: Nicole's lips are polished and smooth looking, but they aren't the focus of this look. For a natural, subdued lip, I suggest sticking with the bronze color family (the same as on your eyes). Try something like Estée Lauder Sheer Lip Tint in Bronze followed by Estée Lauder Pure Color Gloss in Sugarcane .

I do like her lips, but the eyes are a little too smoky & drugtastic for my taste.
1I wouldn't call this make-up flawless. There's a little too much eyeshadow under the eyes for me, it creates dark circles and make her look beyond tired.
2I dont like the eye make-up, a little too much. Makes it seem like her face is sinking in.
3if you took away the eye shadow under her eye she would look a lot better and less "drugtastic"
4I don't like her makeup
5I don't like her make up.
6I wear somthing similar to this everyday but I use the duwop brown eyes kit from sephora.
7I'm not crazy about the eye makeup either.
8I wouldnt want to look like that, no way !!!
9I'm sure she's tired with a new baby and all-but the makeup here is not helping!
10I love her eyes....she looks great!
11The eyes are just a little too heroin-chic for my taste.
12no, why accentuate the fact that you aren't getting much sleep? Too much under her eyes.
13i really think she looks like she needs 5 days worth of sleep!!! she looks dredfull
14Eh, I'm not loving her makeup either here...
15I think she would look a lot better if she didn't pile on so much eyeshadow below her eyes.
16I love this look! Modern day heroin_chic. I adore it.
17Ew gross, I think she looked absolutely hideous with those dark circles under her eyes... aren't you supposed to put concealer there instead of dark brown eyeshadow?! WTF!
18Way too much under her eyes, but other then that she looks great!
19I may be with the few but I love her look!
20This quote is from MSN's "Undressed":
21"Nicole is further undone by her mortician-applied makeup, which covers up the lovely and healthy glow she's had since welcoming daughter Harlow in January and leaves her with under-eye circles so dark she could star in "Night of the Living Dead Raccoons." (Kat Gigantis' words, not mine).
I think this make-up look makes her look sickly or strung out or something, I don't think it compliments her features at all, it is just all wrong.
22this whole look works really well together! her makeup is hippy chic just like her ensemble. love it!
